No woman, no cry (Vincent Ford)

No, woman, no cry

'Cause I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

Observing the hypocrites

Mingle with the good people we meet

Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost

Along the way

In this great future, you can't forget your past

So dry your tears, I say

No, woman, no cry

Little darlin', don't shed no tears

No, woman, no cry

Said, said, said, I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire lights, I say

A log wood burnin' through the night

Then we would cook cornmeal porridge, I say

Of which I'll share with you

My feet is my only carriage

And so I've got to push on through

But while I'm gone

Everything's gonna be alright

So no, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry

I say, oh little, little, darling, don't shed no tears

No, woman, no cry, 

No, woman, no, woman, no, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry, one more time I've got to say

Oh little, little darling, please don't shed no tears

No, woman, no cry

No, woman, no, woman no cry
